Music

We have a long standing tradition of musical teaching within our school; we see music as an entitlement for all children. The education of music is for life, enriching children’s learning and wellbeing, music is an intrinsic rhythm throughout every child’s school journey. 

​

With an abundance of musical opportunities, we offer a diverse and rich musical curriculum. Providing a platform for children to develop their musical knowledge across all aspects of music including:

​

  • Musical History

  • Theoretical Knowledge

  • Aural Awareness

  • Composing

  • Reflection & Evaluating

  • Performance

​

Promoting music through an integrated school approach; giving children the tools to develop a musical talent and musical appreciation.

​

As part of our programme of study, all children have weekly discreet musical focus lessons, delivered through a specialist music teacher with well-resourced instruments. Providing progressive lessons, differentiated to match ability with challenging opportunities which build upon prior knowledge. Children achieve a strong foundation year on year, for them to grow their musical talent.   

Our EYFS pupils learn to explore musical instruments and ‘sound makers’, sing in unison and dance/move to music.

​

This is built upon in KS1 as the pupils continue to develop their singing and knowledge of music instruments through the musical elements.

​

In KS2 our children focus upon developing their confidence in playing musical instruments – glockenspiels, violins and violas, as well as furthering their knowledge of the musical elements and composure of collaborative musical pieces.

​

Children’s love for music is further embedded through our ‘Composer of the Month’ assemblies. Teaching not only the history of music, listening to a variety of culturally diverse music, but also developing an appreciation for musical development through our history.

​

Embedded within the academic year children will celebrate and experience music through many different platforms from:

​

  • Singing Assemblies

  • Key Stage Performances

  • Musical Demonstrations

  • Extra-curricular clubs inc. choir

  • Community Performances inc. K2M and ‘Young Voices’

​

At our school, children will have a positive learning experience immersing them into a musically rich environment; where children feel safe and secure to work collaboratively, making music which has an impact on their social and emotional wellbeing as well as preparing them for a lifetime of music making
